    I had been taking d8 gummies regularly for a few months. Fantastic times. Very trippy and cool. Well, one night I took one, starting watching something on tv and suddenly I’m having all kinds of creepy dark thoughts, heart starts racing, and I get dizzy. I tried calling 911 because I’m not sure where I am or whats happening to me. Couldn’t remember my name kinda trip. Phone keeps melting out of my hand. I’ve never hallucinated that bad on anything before. This probably wasn’t psychosis but I felt like I was in hell. I’ve heard the term “green out”. My guess is, no quality control and my gummy was just super stupid strong. Even though all of them were supposed to be 25mg. I guess my point is be careful with anything you put in your body.

      What you describe sounds more like paranoia which can happen if you “overdose” on THC. Basically you took a gummy too many. Been there more then once. All of the sudden you feel this super unease and you’re just hyped that there is bad. you don’t know what, but the feeling is bad.

      Best thing to do is being with someone, keep talking, keep walking, preferably outside. Jeep your mind occupied, away from that feeling.

      Another thing that works for me is a fast acting CBD gummies, I got a bad in the fridge just in case. I’ve had people tell me they work awesome, I’ve had people tell me it would make things worse. Personally, I’ve used them in moments lime that and I don’t know if it’s placebo effect or not, but it helps within minutes. The heart racing stops, I feel myself calm down.
